This is done using the 15 Crew cards, 5 Hero Crew cards, and 17 Upgrade cards. Having picked out your force, its time to enhance it. In addition to the main Armoured Fighting Vehicles from each nation, there are also cards for air support assets in the form of helicopters, anti-air tracked vehicles and 5 Platoon formation cards for each nation. These include tanks for the main factions, the Soviets / Warsaw Pact, West Germany, Great Britain, France and the United States of America. These contain all the gaming stats and rules for not only the two tanks included but also all the currently available kits from the Team Yankee range. These are standard 15mm self-assembly plastic miniatures, as already released in the Team Yankee range. When opened, the first items to be encountered are the miniatures, with two plastic T-64 tanks and one M1 Abrams.

The box itself is made from a fairly sturdy card, meaning it can be used for transport and storage. Using their range of Team Yankee models, they have added a new boxed set which contains everything you need to get started, the Tanks The Modern Age two-player starter. Battlefront have built upon the success of their Tanks game and model range by moving beyond World War Two and offering a similar approach to the post war period.
